Patient's question:
Six days ago, I had a high fever of 39°C and went to the hospital for treatment. The urine test showed high C-reactive protein, while other results were normal. The doctor said it was a sore throat and I received two days of intravenous fluids. Later, the fever subsided. On the third day, I had a blood test, which showed white blood cells at 3.22 (reference range: 4-10), neutrophil percentage at 29.1 (reference range: 50-70), lymphocyte percentage at 57.8 (reference range: 20-40), and neutrophil count at 0.94 (reference range: 3-6). This was the second urine test, and the doctor said the low neutrophil count might be due to the two days of intravenous fluids, which interfered with the blood values while treating the inflammation. They then prescribed azithromycin, which I took for three days. Today, another blood test showed white blood cells at 3.86 (reference range: 4-10), neutrophil percentage at 15.6 (reference range: 50-70), lymphocyte percentage at 71.2 (reference range: 20-40), and neutrophil count at 0.6 (reference range: 3-6). The hospital doctor also told me that the white blood cell count had increased and advised me to bring the baby back for another blood test in a week.Treatment and Effectiveness:
I went to the hospital for intravenous fluids, and the doctor prescribed some lung-cleansing and fever-reducing medications. After reviewing the report today, I asked if there are any specific medications or foods I should avoid. The doctor prescribed more lung-cleansing medicine and said the baby needs to be digested and nourished.
Desired Assistance:
Please help me understand what harm the extremely low neutrophil percentage and high lymphocyte percentage might cause to the baby. Are there any methods that can help? Besides the baby's diet, what foods would be beneficial for her? Thank you all! Urgent!
Doctor's answer:
Neutrophils are lower than normal, lymphocytes are lower than normal, suggesting a viral infection. It should be determined by clinical symptoms to decide on antiviral treatment.We recommend you retest your blood routine. We recommend you decide on antiviral medication under the guidance of a doctor. Pay attention to preventing colds.
Wishing you good health.
